It’s the best time of the year if you’re a football fan.  The NFL playoffs are already approaching the divisional playoffs and the Super Bowl is just around the corner.  There’s plenty to be excited about and no one is immune!  BetUS has certainly caught Super Bowl fever and they have recently released a whole list of new odds on the upcoming game.  These include:

October/November really is a great time of year if you like to have a bet.

The NFL season is in full swing, so too is NCAA Football, where there’s real money to be made from sentimental fans betting on their alma mater.

My other favorite sport is just about to fire up as well, with the NBA season about to tip off and the Lakers favorites to win it all again with the online bookies.

And poker’s biggest event, the World Series of Poker, is down the final table, known as the ‘November Nine’. Full Tilt’s Phil Ivey is third favorite at 4-1, behind chipleaders Darvin Moon and Eric Buchman. Ivey will be doing well to win the thing considering he is starting with some serious stack envy. Bodog has all the latest WSOP odds.

And one of the world’s biggest horse races is also coming up on the first Tuesday in November – The Melbourne Cup. It stops the whole country of Australia, but the rest of the planet is also becoming more and more intrigued by this great race and you should be too as there’s always great odds to be had as the horses run over two miles and it is often anybody’s race at the final turn.

If you’re in the northern hemisphere things are probably starting to get a little cool now, but if you’re in the tropics like me, things are just starting to heat up. It’s my favorite time of year… NFL… NBA… warm weather… more people indoors up north and playing poker… it’s all good!

Don’t hate me cause you ain’t me!

Does it really matter where money comes from?

How do you know the source of all the cash in your bank or in your wallet. Is it unadulterated, un-laundered or even printed by whoever should have printed it?

Thailand authorities investigate the source of the funds behind Thaksin Shinawatra £81.6m takeover bid for Manchester City’s football team last week.
On June 11th Thailand’s military government froze £830m of Thaksin’s assets while they investigated him for corruption.Thaksin was Thailand’s prime minister and during the time he was PM he was supposed to declare his assets.
The Thai Finance Minister, Chalongphob Sussangkarn says that Thaksin’s foreign assets he ammassed as PM were not declared.

City’s board has announced it will support the bid which comes through from UK Sports Investments, a company indirectly controlled by Thaksin and some of his immediate family.

Thaksin Shinawatra faces scrutiny by the boffins of the Premier League before he can complete the proposed takeover.
He will have to pass their standard “fit and proper person” test.

Meanwhile, Thaksin has spoken with Sven-Goran Eriksson about managing the team. Apparently Thaksin has offered Eriksson the job subject to him taking over the team
Thaksin cannot appoint Eriksson as new manager until he secures 75% of Man City shares.
Thaksin said: “When I asked how many players do City need, my advisors said two strikers, two midfielders and one goalkeeper.”
Wow, no wonder City haven’t won anything for over 30 years, most teams start with eleven!
